Is the breakfast "all you care to eat" this year?

it's not a buffett but you can ask the wait staff for seconds, you just can't ask for a box to put your entire meal inside

We were so full, there is no way we could have eaten seconds. I was allowed to box up my pastries and take them with me.

Dh is shamelessly poking around in RH taking tons of pictures...so far they have not kicked him out....

According to the decorators it will stay decorated during the day...

that's what I was thinking, they whole put decorations up and take them down didn't make sense to me.
Still think it's strange that they will leave it open for lunch but they do need the space for the lunch rush

@Good Morning Dewdrop was told that it would be released tomorrow.
I've been calling everyday this week trying to get the times
We do have times for Ashley Eckstein's autograph session though, she leaked it in her Blog post for HU. The times are on the first post

We won't be there until next year. I hope everyone has an amazing time for us! In the meantime, here's a little Star Wars/Frozen crossover for fans of both!

@Good Morning Dewdrop can I share your picture on fb?

Yes!

Also found a tent by Bill and Mins...still exploring and was told by a CM that Maul will be by the exit of Darths Mall...checking that out soon..

sorry I couldn't answer with a picture last night, I was on my phone. Here's a pic of the place. Word of caution: they took away all the tables and chairs so now it'l be just the ledge. Still better, in my opinion, than standing around.

Just saw a post that Disney is making changes to Character Palooza and plans to disperse the characters around the park in a random manner rather than gather them near ToT. Made me wonder if the removal of these tables mean they'll be sending some of the Palooza characters to this area?

They're setting up Rebel Hangar. Took a couple photos, can't post from phone.

could be...I was thinking maybe this will be the location for Luke, Leia and the Droids.
None of the Fab 4 or Cip or Dale could be here because it's too close to the H&V Dinner

Palooza Update: last week yulilin correctly reported Character Palooza will be held during SWWs. Now, there won't be a set location. From what I've heard, the location(s) is also a surprise to the Fantasmic performers. With everything going on schedule-wise with SWW events, it would be best not to try to hunt down Palooza.

Kenny the Pirate has info regarding the surprise changes to Palooza in a new post: http://www.kennythepirate.com/2015/05/13/what-is-going-on-with-character-palooza/

this is one of the pop up bars

 

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

No tents around the lake. Took a picture of the stage. A random CM told us she had seen other SW characters during the week...I suspect she has seen characters from the meals walking Bach and forth.

In line for Baymax then checking out the Maul rumored location
